There was a sense
That spring was really trying,
The storms had a bigger
Space between them,
The sun hit the outside
Tables three mornings
In a row and more
Smiles broke on
More faces more often,
Brian was leaving for
The Gwaii for the spring
And coming summer,
Terri and Kerrie were
Dipping their toes
In new life streams,
Maili said she was
Going to write every day,
And the clock in the corner
Was grinning at me
As if it knew
How many springs
Were left on the
Time cards.
